This happened to me yesterday, and, haha, I didn't notice until I started to
see RSA stuff not working:

da0: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing
Enabled
da0: 4340MB (8888924 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 553C)
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0a
no such device 'ad'
setrootbyname failed
ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
Root mount failed: 6
Mounting root from ufs:da0a
da0: invalid primary partition table: no magic
WARNING: clock lost 358 days -- CHECK AND RESET THE DATE!


My FreeBSD-alpha PC164 lost it's IDE disk for 4.2 somehow- which I'd just
loaded the 4.2 kernel from- so it decided to run off of da0 instead, which was
-current. Truly a startling turn of events. Shouldn't one stop and ask if the
root one asked for isn't available?
